🛠️ Key Setup Steps for Your Family Plan

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 1. Invite Your Family Members

The Family Space can include up to 4 members total.

Head to your Family settings (from the Web or mobile app)
Tap Add Member and send them an invite
Each member will get access to the shared space + their own private environment

📋 2. Create Shared Boards

Boards are where you’ll organize collaborative tasks, like:

Chores
Travel planning
School projects
Family budgeting

Each Family Space can hold up to 4 shared boards/grocery lists.

Once all 4 are created, any new boards will remain private unless a slot is freed.

💡 You can also opt to create private personal lists within your personal space.

🛒 3. Use the Smart Grocery Lists

Your Family Plan includes a dedicated Smart Grocery Lists — built to simplify weekly shopping:

Items are sorted automatically by aisle
All members can add/edit items in real time
Lists sync across all platforms (including mobile)

Great for planning together and saving time at the store. Get full details, right here.

✅ 4. Assign Tasks & Manage Visibility

Use the Assign Member option to give tasks to specific people
Only assigned tasks will appear in a member’s personal My Day, 7 Days, or All Tasks views
If a task isn’t assigned to anyone, it won’t show up in those views
Take advantage of the chat feature to share comments, tag other members and ask for status updates.

This helps each family member focus on what’s theirs - while still collaborating on shared goals.

📅 5. Integrate a Shared Calendar

To manage birthdays, events, or weekly routines:

Head to Settings → Calendar Integration
Connect the same shared Google/Outlook calendar on each family member’s device
Events will appear side by side with tasks inside your Family Space

Create personal lists and boards
Set reminders, use Focus Mode, and enjoy AI suggestions
Plan routines, track goals, or manage school/work life privately

🧑‍💼 Thinking of Expanding to Workspace?

If you need to add more than 4 members or create more than 4 shared boards, you may want to consider upgrading to a Workspace plan.

Here’s what to know:

Workspace is a separate environment, built for teams
Upgrading to Workspace will cancel your Family Plan
You will lose access to the Family Space unless you maintain both plans
Want to keep your boards? Our team can help migrate them from Family to Workspace, simply Contact Support for assistance
Some users choose to maintain both plans — using Workspace for work and Family for home
Workspace unlocks:
- Unlimited members and boards
- Automations and time tracking
- Roles, admin controls, and advanced collaboration tools
- Great for growing teams and small businesses
